WHY POLICE AND SOLDIERS HAVE A RIGHT TO USE DEADLY FORCE AGAINST STONE THROWERS

The international community has accused Israeli police and soldiers of being war criminals for shooting at stone throwing ‘peaceful protesters.’

Whether it’s Israelis shooting at Palestinian stone throwers or U.S. Border Patrol officers shooting at Mexican stone throwers, both are justified in using deadly force because those stones can be lethal.

STONE THROWERS ARE NOT PEACEFUL PROTESTERS

A two-year-old Israeli girl was critically wounded and her mother and two older sisters suffered serious injuries when Palestinian Arab stone throwers attacks Jewish motorists on a highway in Samaria Thursday night.

The assailants hurled large stones at a truck traveling near the Jewish town of Ariel, causing it to swerve into the oncoming lane and slam into the victims' vehicle.

Doctors fought to save the little girl's life overnight, and by Friday morning all four victims were listed in stable but serious condition.

Israeli forces said that "accurate intelligence that was quickly assembled" had led to the arrest of 10 men believed to be involved in this and other stone-throwing attacks overnight.

Local Jewish residents congregated at the scene of the attack overnight and held a prayer rally for the family as an act of protest against ongoing Palestinian attacks in the area.

The Palestinian leadership and the international community typically label stone-throwing as a form of "peaceful" protest against what they call the "Israeli occupation." But, as this and other attacks have shown, stones can kill just as easily as bombs and bullets if directed at the right targets.

A stone in the head can kill you head. Ask some guy named Goliath about it. There is no doubt in my mind many of these "peaceful protesters" are attempting to get a forceful response and are pushing hard enough to do so.
